Introduction

This report collates information from the BODC cruise inventory and oceanographic databases. It presents

Cruise Inventory Information

Long name FRV Scotia (748S) cruise 1019S
Short name 1019S
Objectives and Narrative Objectives

1. Sediment sampling in the Moray Firth (grabs & cores).
2. Sediment sampling along transect from Moray Firth to Fladen Ground (grabs & cores).
3. Sediment sampling on the Fladen Ground (grabs & cores).
4. Sediment sampling along transect from Fladen to Pentland Firth (grabs & cores).
5. Gravity coring in Loch Eriboll.
6. Sediment sampling in North Minch and Sound of Sleat (grabs & cores).
7. Sediment sampling in sea lochs east of Skye (Lochs Nevis, Hourn and Alsh).
8. Water sampling at each grab/core station and on transit (surface and bottom).

Procedure

This survey will carry out research affiliated to Scotland's Blue Carbon Forum, a research area with significant ministerial support and referenced in the 2017-18 Programme for Government. The current focus revolves around measuring the ability for various habitats to sequester carbon, understand how it is stored for the long term, and builds an evidence base on the effects that human activities may have on these processes. The majority of the work is seabed sediment sampling using grabs and cores, in various habitats and regimes of anthropogenic disturbance (e.g. fishing grounds, sea lochs).
